Description

The Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists (SIDP) and the American Society
of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) have joined forces to develop the Long-Term Care
(LTC) Antimicrobial Stewardship Certificate Program. This is a practice-based certificate
program focused on the role pharmacists play in the appropriate use of antimicrobial
agents.

Certificate program participants begin by developing a strong knowledge base in microbiology,
pharmacology, and disease state management through online programming and live webinars.
Then participants practice developing interventions at their practice site that aim
to improve patient/resident care and clinical outcomes, lower healthcare costs, and
prolong the longevity of our antimicrobials.

A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to participants who successfully complete
all three program components. Participants who successfully complete the program will
be eligible for a free 1-year SIDP associate membership.

The self-study and webinars are to be completed within 8 months and the final project
completed within 12 months of registration. To sign up and access the program,
use the Pay with a Credit Card or Pay with a Check links listed at the top of the
page.
